The event was held jointly by the Union of Friendship Organisations of Da Nang City and the Vietnam-Laos Friendship Association - Da Nang branch.
At the ceremony, delegates recalled the historic milestone on October 30, 1949, when the Standing Board of the Central Committee of the then Indochinese Communist Party decided that the military forces of Vietnam fighting in and assisting Laos would be organised into a separate system in the name of “volunteer soldiers”. The move affirmed the CPV’s righteous policy and viewpoint on performing the international mission.
The force of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts operating in Laos is a beautiful symbol of the strong bond, solidarity and special combatant alliance between the two countries, he said.
In four decades of carrying out the noble international mission in Laos, the force upheld the pure, loyal and steadfast internationalism to complete their tasks and joined hands with the armed forces and people of Laos to gain glorious feats of arms, thus making worthy contributions to the glorious revolutionary causes of the two parties, states, militaries and peoples. These actions fostered the special solidarity between Vietnam and Laos as well as their unique combatant alliance in history
Ho Ky Minh, Standing Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Da Nang City, expressed gratitude to the force for their enormous dedications to the glorious revolutionary causes of the two parties, states, militaries and peoples.
